If you are active on social media or read the news, you have no doubt heard about Brock Turner and his father, Dan Turner.

If not, allow me.

A California judge recently sentenced Brock Turner to a mere six months in jail — under California law, though, he will serve only three months — for raping an unconscious woman he met at a fraternity party at Stanford University, and his father complained in a letter to the judge that it is a “steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20-plus years of life.” The formal charges included penetration of an intoxicated person and penetration of an unconscious person.

“As it stands now, Brock’s life has been deeply altered forever by the events of Jan 17th and 18th. He will never be his happy-go-lucky self with that easy-going personality and welcoming smile,” Dan Turner’s letter reads. “His every waking minute is consumed with worry, anxiety, fear and depression. You can see this in his face, the way he walks, his weakened voice, his lack of appetite. …

“His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve. That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20-plus years of life,” the dad wrote. “The fact that he now has to register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life forever alters where he can live, visit, work and how he will be able to interact with people and organizations. What I know as his father is that incarceration is not the appropriate punishment for Brock.”

Boo hoo.

I cannot begin to say what the “appropriate punishment” for a rapist is because my conscious would not wish the same fate on another human, but I do know that the 23-year-old woman Brock Turner raped will deal with the trauma of his “20 minutes of action” for more than the jail sentence and three-year probation sentence he received.

I know this because I am a survivor.

Although I do not know the Turner family or the victim, I do know that she is most likely absolutely devastated by the events of Jan. 17, 2015. She also may feel embarrassment or shame, although I hope she feels neither because what happened to her is not her fault.

It is Brock Turner’s fault.

Make no mistake about that truth.

Based on Dan Turner’s letter to the judge advocating for his son to not serve jail or prison time, I doubt Mr. Turner accepts the reality of what his son did.

Not once in his letter does Dan Turner acknowledge that his son raped a woman. He refers to it as:

“the events” of Jan. 17-18, 2015;

“that night”;

“his actions on that night”; and

“20 minutes of action.”

Isn't that charming?

Dan Turner wrote that his son was an “extremely dedicated person.” He was dedicated that night in pursuing his selfish interest, wasn’t he? According to an excerpt from the police report, Brock Turner told police “his intentions were not to try to rape a girl without her consent. He just wanted to ‘hook up’ with a girl.”

Let’s be clear: An unconscious woman cannot give consent to hold her hand, let alone to engage in sexual activity.

Dan Turner wrote in his letter that his son desperately tried to fit in at Stanford and “fell into the culture of alcohol consumption and partying,” and that culture “modeled by many of the upperclassmen on the swim team … played a role” in the “events” of Jan. 17-18, 2015.

Let’s be clear: The swim team did not get drunk and rape a girl. Brock Turner did.

Brock Turner is a convicted rapist because he raped an unconscious woman near a dumpster not far from a fraternity party she attended with her sister.

The rape was so severe that doctors found abrasions, lacerations and dirt in her vagina, according to the woman’s statement to the court. Two graduate students passing by on their bicycles interrupted the rape.

One of those students has since told national news media that Brock Turner did not appear drunk when caught.

When caught, Brock Turner tried to run, but the graduate students chased him down and detained him until police arrived.

For Dan Turner to write in his letter that his son “has never been violent to anyone including his actions on the night of Jan. 17, 2015” is a lie.

Rape is violent.

The father even writes that his son can educate others about “the dangers of alcohol consumption and sexual promiscuity” and that such education “can begin to break the cycle of binge drinking and its unfortunate results.”

Is he serious? There is no scenario where Brock Turner should be spokesman for educating others.

Does Dan Turner even know what promiscuity means?

Allow me: Promiscuity is the practice of having casual sex frequently with different partners.

What happened to the 23-year-old woman was not “sexual promiscuity.” It was rape.

A person chooses to be sexually promiscuous. This woman was unconscious and incapable of making such a choice.

Brock Turner made the choice for her, and that is rape. He is using his alleged alcohol consumption as an excuse for his behavior.

This culture to blame the victim has to stop.

For those of you who believe as Dan Turner does, tell me: How do you think you would feel if it were your wife, your sister, your mother or your daughter who had been lying unconscious, naked, legs spread open because the rapist was caught in the act near the dumpster?

Would you consider that person a rapist or a nonviolent person as Dan Turner does his son?

You cannot blame the alcohol when a person is raped. You cannot blame short skirts or open shirts or flirty behavior or walking alone or television.

One person is to blame.

The rapist: Brock Turner, who arguably appeared more worried about losing his Olympics swimming goal. (The U.S. governing body for the sport banned him Friday, condemning his “crime and actions.”)

Brock Turner and his father should get on their knees and kiss the ground while praising Jesus, if they believe in him, that Brock Turner did not go to prison where he most likely would have felt firsthand what he did to that woman.

It is not Brock Turner who paid a “steep price” for his actions. It is the survivor.
